William Bernstein is a financial theorist, neurologist and Best Selling author of several books, including one of our favorites, The Intelligent Asset Allocator. He is a proponent of the equity or index allocation school of thought, believing that all equity selection strategies should be focused on allocating between asset classes, rather than selecting individual stocks and bonds, or from the timing of their sales. In this episode we talk the possible risk tolerance of an all stock portfolio and what age you should be when investing. We discuss some advantages and disadvantages of lump sum investing over a dollar cost average approach especially over a 12-month period. Lastly the importance of knowing financial history to choose the best time&nbsp;to buy stocks and how it correlates with GDP. Listen to the end to hear Williams advice he would like to give to his younger self&nbsp;and other inspiring investors.&nbsp;

Andy Rachleff is not only a veteran in finance, he is also a pioneer in modern investing. Wealthfront is due more than their fair share of pioneering and innovating Rob-advisors, and helping millions of people start investing in the market in a smarter, more efficient way. At the time of this episode, Wealthfront is managing over $5.5 Billion for all types of investors from beginners to high net worth individuals. Robo-Advisors (or automated investing as Andy prefers to call it) have been sweeping the finance sector making it easy and transparent to invest in the market.
On this episode, we get to tap into Andy’s nearly 4 decades of experience in finance and investing, explore efficiencies in the Wealthfront platform, and see who Robo-Advisors are a good investing instrument for.

She has a vast knowledge of tax law and holds law degrees from Harvard University, Cambridge University, and New York University.
During the episode, Jorie explains two tax laws, known as Act 20, the Export Services Act, and Act 22, the Individual Investors Act, which shields new residents of Puerto Rico from paying most federal income. And since these laws apply to the residents of Puerto Rico, Jorie discusses the process and requirements in applying for residency. Also, she gives comprehensive examples on what is eligible for tax exemptions.

Since Episode 13 with their CEO Ben Miller, we have made multiple new investments into the Fundrise eREITS. As with other modern investment products, new questions are constantly popping up around the structure of the investment, how it works, and what to expect. Previously, Kendall had fielded several of our questions and helped us grow confidence in our investment selections.
We were excited to have her on this new episode to answer a fresh batch of listener submitted questions including some of our own. In addition, Fundrise just announced their own IPO and Kendall discussed what this means for investors and their company.

On each point, Paul explains the decision in detail and gives us advice on how to apply this practically to our own portfolios. This is a great episode for all levels of investing experience.

Simon Black is the owner and figurehead of the popular publication Sovereign Man. We have been following Simon’s advice and putting it into practice for years, and had the opportunity to have a conversation with him geared toward investing.
Appropriately labelled “Finding Outsized Returns Off the Beaten Path” this episode focuses on how Simon utilizes his vast world experience (now visited over 120 countries) and enviable network to find investment opportunities around the world. From precious medals & Bitcoin, to agricultural projects and start-ups, Simon is about as well diversified as someone could get and his investment views are shaped through more experience that anyone could hope to obtain in a lifetime… or 2.

Interview with PeerStreet's co founder and COO, Brett Crosby which is the Peer-2-Peer lending platform that secures the loans against the borrower’s real estate. PeerStreet is unique in that to date they have never experienced a default, and have loan terms of under 12 months compared to other platforms that have minimums of 3 years. Brett and his Co-Founder Brew Johnson have the perfect background of experience between law, tech, and real-estate. In fact, Brett was the brains behind Google Urchin, which was acquired and became Google Analytics.
In this episode we discuss how the P-2-P lending space is changing, and how technology can enable more efficient deal flow and better lender-borrower matching. Enabled by sophisticated technology, PeerStreet uses Big Data to cross reference over 20 years of submarket data in order to vet and stress test each loan. We also do a deep dive into our 16 loan positions we currently have invested through the platform and what we can expect as an investor. The episode represents a great learning opportunity on the types of modern investing opportunities that we are passionately looking to discover and share.

Bryce Leo is the 31-year-old owner of Crush Empire, which specializes in online prep courses for advanced education exams. Bryce has a classic hustler story grounded on investing in himself, and one that has evolved quickly over the last 5 years. What makes Bryce so unique is that he started where so many people have been before, out of school with a degree and good career lined up (CPA) and decided to abandon it all to invest in his future and work to live life on his own terms. Most impressive though, is how he is continuously making the decision to reinvest everything back into himself and his business in an attempt to outpace competition and truly innovate in the field.
While he had made enough money to retire in his 20’s as only an affiliate, he continues to shoulder more risk and push the limits into new verticals. Where others would get complement with their blossoming earnings, he has scaled his income to now over 6 figures of monthly income. Bryce has an inspiring story that anyone who is interested or already involved in online business should hear. Listen to his full story in this new episode titled CPA to Self-Made, Bryce Leo’s Multi-Million Dollar Crush Empire.
